Minnesota Lakes and RiversA Boating and Fishing Paradise!
The sparkling, sky-blue waters of Minnesota lakes and rivers provide much of the recreational opportunity for which our state is famous. For many people, Minnesota's fishing lakes are the primary attraction. There are hundreds of lake resorts in Minnesota that cater to the needs of fishermen (and women) and offer guided trips to the best fishing spots. Other Minnesota lake cabin rentals and family oriented resorts cater to those who want to swim, boat, canoe, kayak lie in the sun or build sand castles on the beach. If you want to experience the wilder side of Minnesota's lakes and rivers, one place you can do that is in the Boundary waters canoe area (BWCA). The remote portions of Voyageurs National Park offer similar experiences. And, the Superior National Forest offers some spectacular, though often over-looked, lakes and rivers. In many states, with more limited water resources, it can be hard to find a way to be on or near a lake. In Minnesota lake property is still abundant. Whether you come to find a place to stay for a week or for the summer, or even if you want to build a home on a lake, you can realize your dream. Minnesota lakes and rivers, include the legendary Mississippi River that is born here, our "inland sea," Lake Superior, and thousands of other bodies of water. Our abundant water resource is a huge part of what makes Minnesota so attractive and so much fun! Minnesota Lakes10,000 Lakes, is that possible? Actually, Minnesota has 11,842 lakes that are greater than 10 acres in size. If you are not familiar with Minnesota, how can you choose a lake vacation spot among so many possibilities?

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. ~Henry David Thoreau Minnesota Rivers
The calming and healing benefits of being on, or near, a body of water are well documented. You may find yourself lying on a warm beach, sitting on a smooth boulder on the shore of Lake Superior, rocking gently in a canoe while holding a fishing rod, or zooming behind a speed boat on water skiis. Stress leaves and peace returns!
A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the earth itself . . ." ~Laura Gilpin
